Description
The pursuit justice and fairness in climate change has been one of the key lobbying messages of non-government organization, developing countries and small island states in its climate change campaigns. Various provisions in international law supports the call for climate justice but there are still a couple of topics that are discussed less such as the concept of animal rights, the right of everyone to have a clean environment, and the denormalization of the natural disasters.
This panel covers five topics relating most of the topics of justice and fairness in achieving climate objectives. The first one talks about the proposal to create a global court for climate change and climate justice that could play a key role in the international community’s response to the climate crisis. The second talks about the political and legal basis for having a healthy environment. The third panel explores the representation and normalisation of island’s disappearance in political statements and newspapers across the globe. Fourth one talks about and management reform using feminist and decolonial scholarship. Last paper in this paper argues on the importance of including animal rights and animal welfare as part of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
By discussing the concepts of fairness and justice and climate change, this panel aims to further amplify the voice that are mostly affected by climate change. This includes people from the developing countries, vulnerable states, and even non-human beings that rely on the nature of living.
